The monograph entitled “Gambling in the contextof globalization” published in two volumes, is, in ouropinion, a thorough research on a highly interestingissue in the Romanian law, that of preventing andcombating criminal acts in the field of gambling. Ithas a high degree of originality and it is useful andappropriate in several ways.

First the author presents in a judicious and originalmanner the concerns of the international communityin designing and developing a general framework toregulate traditional gambling, but also the perspectiveof the development of on-line gambling.

Second the book “Gambling in the context ofglobalization” improves the current state of the arton player protection and the rule against fraudulentgames, and many different situations are presentedalong with a theoretical analysis of jurisprudence ofrelevant situations. It highlights the innovationsoccurring with the development of modern technicalmeans of communication, the Internet in solvingvarious practical reasons, the proposed solutions that

involve a uniform implementation of criminalprocedures discussed. We note how crime analysisapart from the field, as highlighted in particular themodalities of committing crimes on the material andgambling links.

Third, the authors, who are real professionals withpractical and operational expertise, have treatedseparately the complex process that is “digitization”of gambling, in the era of globalization and theelements of comparative law in penal matters,administrative and fiscal.

We are of the opinion that the work “Gambling inthe context of globalization” is presented as ascientific monograph developed at a high scientificlevel. Also we consider that the work is performed ina single, clear and well organized manner, the authorsmanaged to achieve a scientific reference work,particularly significant and useful for practitioners inthe field of economic and financial crime and thecriminal law science and related fields.
